King of Glory: Catch All the Female Heroes

Chapter 255: Milady's Banquet

"Do you really want to die?"

Zhang Cheng asked Lan in a low voice with some curiosity.

Zhang Cheng saw a trace of desire to survive in Lan's eyes.

Lan obviously doesn't want to die here.

"This is the assassin's awareness. If the assassination fails, he must be prepared to pay the price with his life."

Zhang Cheng smiled and asked Lan again: "Are you really willing to die for Cao Cao? Cao Cao is not your benefactor."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lan retorted: "He is my benefactor. He once saved me."

"My family was attacked by bandits, and if he hadn't helped me, I would have died. And he helped me get revenge."

"Without him, there would be no me today."

"Hahaha, are you really so naive that you believe Cao Cao's lies? Besides, are you very happy now?"

Zhang Cheng released Lan and continued, "Based on my understanding of Cao Cao, Cao Cao must have noticed your talent for martial arts beforehand. He then sent people to pretend to be bandits and kill your entire family."

"Cao Cao is giving you the impression of a benefactor in the capacity of an enemy. Poor you, after such a long time you still haven't seen through Cao Cao's true face and are still working for your enemy."

"If you do this, you will be sorry for your parents who died in vain."

Lan suddenly became excited, "You're talking nonsense!"

"You should have made your own judgment on whether I am talking nonsense or not. You work for Cao Cao. What kind of person is Cao Cao? You definitely know better than me."

Zhang Cheng continued under Lan's gaze, "I have also heard about the methods Cao Cao used to train you. All of your friends died at the hands of Cao Cao, and only you survived."

"Why would Cao Cao help you get revenge? It's easy for you to kill your enemy with your ability."

"I'm telling you Cao Cao is trying to silence people. If you hadn't stood out, the bandits who killed your parents would have gone unpunished and lived forever."

After hearing what Zhang Cheng said this time, Lan finally fell silent.

Smart as Lan, he actually considered what Zhang Cheng said.

Because the method Cao Cao used to deal with Cai Yong was a shameful conspiracy.

The reason why Lan is unwilling to admit it is that he is just deceiving himself.

"Lan, take another look at little Wen Ji. Don't you think she looks a lot like you?"

"Little Wen Ji lost her father because of Cao Cao's selfishness. If you capture her, she will probably die at the hands of Cao Cao."

"Are you really willing to once again help the tyrant and kill little Wen Ji? Kill such an innocent child?"

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, a hint of struggle flashed in Lan's eyes.

After a while, Lan sighed and said to Zhang Cheng again: "Kill me."

"You are just a tool in Cao Cao's hands. I know that doing this is not your original intention. So I will not kill you."

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he picked up little Wen Ji and walked away without even looking back at Lan.

Diao Chan and others followed Zhang Cheng, but Kai stayed with a frown.

After everyone left, Kai said to Lan, "Do you know why Zhang Cheng didn't kill you?"

Without waiting for Lan to answer, Kai continued, "There are two reasons why he didn't kill you. First, he felt very sorry for you. You were used by your enemy. You should have a final say with your enemy. You shouldn't die here."

"Secondly, he thinks you are a talent. The fact that you hid in the water and were able to deceive my eyes is the best proof."

"Live well and use your brain more when doing things in the future."

"You only have one life, and I don't think you would be willing to let others control you."

After Kai finished speaking, he threw a bottle of healing medicine to Lan before leaving.

"This is the best healing elixir used by the Great Wall Guards. Don't waste my medicine, and don't waste Zhang Cheng's favor."

Zhang Cheng and others enjoyed a very sumptuous meal at the Moon Family.

When Zhang Cheng and others returned to the Rose Family, Ji Xiaoman, who had received the news, had already been waiting for a long time.

As soon as she saw Zhang Cheng, Ji Xiaoman couldn't help but throw herself into Zhang Cheng's arms.

"Teacher Zhang, I thought you were going to die at the hands of pirates. I have been feeling very upset and guilty all this time. I shouldn't have abandoned you."

"I'm not a person who likes to be a deserter."

Zhang Cheng reached out and rubbed Ji Xiaoman's head, and said, "Have you ever gone back to the City Builder Family to take a look?"

Ji Xiaoman nodded gently and said, "I have been back, but I went to the City Builder Family mainly to see where my mother once lived. I don't particularly like the atmosphere of the City Builder Family."

Perhaps it was because of the influence of the curse, or perhaps it was because the city builder family Haidu enjoyed too much glory.

Ji Xiaoman felt that the City Builders family was particularly cold-hearted, and many of them were very proud.

"Have you seen your aunt?"

Ji Xiaoman’s aunt is Archon Miledy.

Seeing Zhang Cheng mention Miledy, Ji Xiaoman couldn't help but pout and said, "I met her, but I don't particularly like her."

"When we met, she asked me about my ability, whether I studied hard in Jixia Academy, and whether I slacked off."

"I think he's even more annoying than Old Master."

After hearing what Ji Xiaoman said, Zhang Cheng couldn't help laughing.

Ji Xiaoman is just a little girl who has not grown up.

She likes to slack off and doesn't like to work hard.

Miledy doesn't seem to be very good at handling the relationship between her and Ji Xiaoman.

This caused Ji Xiaoman to be very resentful towards Miledy.

But one thing is certain, Miledy cares very much about Ji Xiaoman.

"By the way, my aunt said she wants to meet you."

Hearing Ji Xiaoman's words, Zhang Cheng nodded slightly.

Miledy has a miracle core in her hand, which is something Zhang Cheng needs very much.

In addition to the wishing bottle mission, even if Miledy does not take the initiative to summon Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng will find a way to visit Miledy.

Now with Ji Xiaoman acting as a middleman, things have become much more convenient.

"When does your aunt decide to meet me?"

"Tomorrow night, according to what my aunt said, he will also invite the patriarchs of other families in Haidu and the young talents of Haidu. In short, tomorrow night will be a grand dinner."

After hearing Ji Xiaoman's words, Zhang Cheng frowned slightly.

If what Ji Xiaoman said is true, then Miledy may have other intentions.

"I understand. Go back and tell your aunt today that I will be there on time tomorrow night."

After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, Ji Xiaoman couldn't help but pout.

“But I still don’t want to go back.”
